When a The New Yorker-published poet found her fiance dead one spring morning, she became a grief body. Grief Body by Natalie Wise, called unforgettable raw, haunting and wow, a whole new level by readers, is a fine art poetry book for the things we can't speak. Dive into the act of grieving, the physical manifestations of it and the mental permutations - the bad decisions, darkest inclinations, and the deep, deep pain of moving forward in this collection of 45 poems. This is not a book that will heal you. It will sit with you in the grief, and let you get deep in your being / get down on all fours / groan out guttural grief / must purge it somehow / must apologize to the dead / for getting up and going.
Real, internet-stranger customer reviews:
- Unforgettable
- Her expressive rendition of grief is significant.
- I feel like I'm back at uni reading the moderns.
- Raw and haunting.
- Wow, tore me apart. Literally. I cried, wept, i now feel lighter so thanks to the poet.
- It's a raw, visceral descent into the textures of loss-anger, emptiness, despair-rendered with striking honesty.
If you've ever felt your grief live in your skin... this book will feel like coming home.
